Slow news day, eh?
Walmart has market research experts that can provide their vendors with analytics that demonstrate product success. Criminy, can they have more than a week in a region of stores to get some decent metrics? Why beat down a business relationship that is just beginning?
I know millionaires that consider Walmart their main supplier for all items they carry. Initially, I was shocked that they would lower their standards. Now I shop there, too, for the same reasons. We love fresh basil. This is a win-win for us.
